Experimental Study on Explosive Reaction Armor Disturbing Penetrators

For defensiving large-caliber armor-piercing attacks better and improving tanks′survivability on the battlefield,the disturbance of penetrators by a new type of explosive reactive armor structure is studied by the experiment and numerical methods.By experimental study on the penetrators penetrating target at different normal angle,the penetration at different angle are arrived,and the protect coefficient is calculated.The results show that the new explosive reactive armor disturbed the penetrators effectively,caused more mass loss and changes in flight attitude of the armor-piercing projectile,destroied its ability to continue to penetrate the lord armor,thereby achieve a greatly increased protective effect on the penetrators.
